Image Comparer 3.7
FIND SIMILAR PICTURES AUTOMATICALLY
Automatically compare digital pictures, find duplicates and highlight image differences.
Have you tried showing a set or a large collection of digital snapshots to a friend or relative? Weren't they underwhelmed and a little bored by the number of all too similar shots of the same subject?
Get rid of the duplicates automatically! Image Comparer scans your entire collection of images, analyzes their contents and locates files that look alike.
Manually locating similar images may be fine if you have a just dozen images. But what if you have a hundred? If you do it by hand, it'll take you quite a while. If you are like most digital shooters,
you probably have several hundred or even a few thousand digital pictures stored in various folders. Locating and removing duplicates can easily become a time-consuming nightmare, and may eventually even
take away the fun of taking pictures.
Difficult lighting and exposure problems, camera shake and digital noise can pollute your images. If you encounter difficult shooting conditions, you are probably taking a few duplicates with somewhat
different settings. Selecting the best shot out of a few duplicates is relatively easy, but what if you have hundreds of duplicate shots? Your viewers won't be overly impressed to see a dark shot, a
blurry shot, and then just the perfect one followed by an overexposed view.
Image Comparer analyzes your digital images and automatically selects the best shot out of the many duplicates, allowing you to move or delete duplicate images in a couple of mouse clicks.
Unlike similar products, Image Comparer does not just look for exact duplicates. Instead, it analyzes and recognizes an image's content, and groups pictures that look alike. You can specify the level of
similarity that is sufficient to consider pictures to be duplicates. View them in pairs or see the top ten similar images and keep the best one!

SEE THE DIFFERENCE: A NEW IMAGE COMPARISON TOOL THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU
Digital cameras once changed the way we perceive photography and organize our photo albums. The affordability of flash media resulted in numerous memory cards being brought from any trip and, consequently, the necessity to sort hundreds or thousands of images manually. Nonetheless, keeping all the images may not be a great idea due to their number and size. A couple of nice shots from a series of several dozen similar ones may well suffice for keeping you precious memories. But how do you pick out several shots of your safari rides made on different days from different angles from a huge photo archive? If you don’t want to think about meticulous file-by-file categorization of your photo album, you may want to use a tool that will do this job for you – the brand-new Image Comparer 3.2!
November 20, 2007: Bolide Software Team is glad to announce the release of Image Comparer 3.2, an image comparison application intended for a wide scope of users – from amateur camera owners to professional photographers, graphic designers and webmasters working with large image archives containing thousands of items.
The third version of Image Comparer has been written completely from scratch to offer users a unique mix of features and performance improvements that were not available in the previous version. Initially intended for detection of duplicate images, Image Comparer is by no means limited to this function only. Based on a unique proprietary image comparison algorithm, the program searches for similar images and compares their content using a similarity threshold specified in the program settings. This enables users to search for both exact duplicates and slightly modified images. This may come extremely handy for photographers making several images in the burst mode in numerous sessions. Using Image Comparer, they can detect these groups of shots and select the ones that best relate to the reference shot. Webmasters of large traffic-intensive sites will also find these features useful, as the program will help them detect duplicate images, free the necessary disk space and organize the site folders for easier and more efficient maintenance. Unlike other applications of the similar type, Image Comparer makes no distinction between files of different formats, cross comparing files of the following formats: RAW, JPEG, J2K, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TGA and others.
The program also features flexible grouping tools that allow users to easily select groups of detected similar images and work with them independently. For this purpose, Image Comparer supports galleries – sets of images which can be compared against one another. Also, users can compare images within galleries to improve final comparison accuracy. The result of each comparison is the similarity ratio for each pair of compared items and a Top 10 list of similar images for each item.
The comparison algorithm that underlies the functionality of Image Comparer is incredibly fast. It takes the program mere minutes to scan large image archives and identify duplicate images and show the user a report on the disk space occupied by them. Duplicates can then be deleted with a single mouse click. Alternatively, the user can specify exactly which images should be deleted, moved or copied to another location. The improved comparison algorithm also supports sorting and grouping by quality, so as to enable users to pick out the images with the best quality and copy/move them to a separate folder.
In a nutshell, Image Compare is a handy image comparison program that will become a welcome addition to the toolkit of anyone dealing with images and digital photography. With Image Comparer 3.2, you will see the real difference!
